Dear Fonseca
I manage around 125 people at my company. One of my new hires is doing a great job although I'm privately concerned because I received an anonymous email from someone, who worked with him at his last job. They had nothing, but bad things to say about him. I'm confused and not sure whether or not to believe the email. The anonymous sender said he did some horrible things to people at the company. Should I question him about his past? Should that factor into this job? Should his past even matter? What would you do if you were me?
